Irving Berlin
I’m a Bad, Bad Man
[FRANK]
I'm honored, I'm flattered
This greeting really mattered
This welcome is grand but I'm really concerned
I like your attention
But this I have to mention
You're playing with fire and you're apt to get burned
There's a girl in Tennessee
Who's sorry she met up with me
Can't go back to Tennessee
I'm a bad, bad man
There's a girl in Omaha
But I ran faster than her pa
Can't go back to Omaha
I'm a bad, bad man
There's a girl in Wyoming
And they're combing Wyoming
To find the man in white
Who was out with her that night
There's a girl in Arkansas
Thе sheriff is her brother-in-law
Can't go back to Arkansas
I'm a bad, bad man
[WOMEN]
You arе making too much fuss
For we don't give a tinker's cuss
We've been out, yes, each of us
With a bad, bad man
We've been chasing up and down
The other show has just left town
And the one who played the clown
Was a bad, bad man
[FRANK]
I'm enlightened
[WOMEN]
Enlightened
[FRANK]
But frightened
[WOMEN]
But frightened
[FRANK]
Though my interest
[WOMEN]
Your interest
[FRANK]
You've heightened
[WOMEN]
We've heightened
[FRANK]
It might turn out to be
[WOMEN]
To be
[FRANK]
That you're much too much for me
So I'll go back into my tent
And someday when you're old and bent
Think of hours you might have spent
With a bad, bad man
